McDonald's recalling 'Shrek' drinking glasses

The Associated PressMcDonald's is recalling "Shrek Forever After" drinking glasses featuring Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss 'n' Boots and Donkey.McDonald's is recalling its four "Shrek Forever After" drinking glasses because they were found to contain the toxic metal cadmium, which can pose health risks.

Customers should stop using the glasses and visit www.mcdonalds.com/glasses beginning June 8 for instructions on how to return them and get a refund. Customers can also call McDonald's toll-free number at 1-800-244-6227.

"When the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission approached McDonald's about cadmium in their current movie-themed drinking glasses, the company responded quickly, agreed to cooperate fully and acted on the side of caution," said Scott Wolfson, director of the Office of Information and Public Affairs, CPSC. "The glasses have far less cadmium than the children's metal jewelry that CPSC has previously recalled."

The Shrek Forever After glassware was offered in four glass designs at McDonald's restaurants beginning May 21.

The four designs include Puss n' Boots, Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey.
